Wazzat: Make life-and-death decisions driven by your conscience. Try to protect everybody from your shelter or sacrifice some of them for longer-term survival. During war, there are no good or bad decisions; there is only survival. The sooner you realize that, the better. In This War Of Mine you do not play as an elite soldier, rather a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling with lack of food, medicine and constant danger from snipers and hostile scavengers. The game provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle.

P-
- Worked great on the Amiga
- Also managed to squeeze around 20 FPS according to the Gallium HUD on my netbook with the open sauce drivers.
- Considering it has a single core 1.3GHz APU, that’s pretty good.

Shiny / Sounds
V-
- Shiny looks good.
- Loses a chair since i’ve lost count of how many times the filthy stink humans had text over their head organ but unreadable because background.
J-
P-
- Sounds were there, but they were nothing to write home about.
- The lack of voice acting was … negatively surprising.
Total-
Control
V-
- Nothing to write home about.
- Combat is a fk mothering joke.
- Better kill in that first whack or more often than not you get killed to death.
J-
- Point and click. Very simple
P-
- It’s all a matter of clicking and clicking does what clicking is supposed to.

FUN
V-
- Point, click, die. THE GAME!
- Uuuuuuugh, crafting :/
- Don’t give me this starvation shite! If I got a crowbar and some sleeping motherfuckers in the house ..I got food.
J-
- I can’t help seeing some similarities with Spacebase DF9, however this one actually has controls that make sense
- I also don’t know how much fun you can have in a war victim simulation game
- It’ll certainly test your zombie survival plan
P-
- It’s not supposed to be fun, so I get it!
- Not really my cup of tea.
- I don’t mind micromanaging a single person. Micromanaging an entire party that kills it for me.
